With a population of less than 7,000, this small coastal town in central Japan has entered the “final stage of depopulation,” with both young and elderly populations in decline. An 80-year-old former school teacher publishes a handwritten newspaper from a remote mountain settlement. Distributed to 500 residents twice a month, it raises concerns about profit-driven policies and the town’s future. The director turns his camera on a town hall rarely covered by major media, highlighting distortions in local politics while capturing how people support one another in the community.
